    The State of Trance.—Dr. Braid has pub- hed, in the Medical Times, some singular in- inces of trance. In two of the cases which lie ves, the patients remained in the horrible con- tion of hearing various remarks made about eir death, and preparations which were making r their interment. All this they heard distinct- , without having the power of giving any indi- ition that they were alive, until some accidental I'upt impression aroused them from their le- . «rl mcnnorl tlipm frnm tiioir nPnlmiQ )i HJIjJl lar-ry, and rescued them from their perilous si- ,ation. On one of these occasions, what most tensely affected the feelings of the entranced tbject, was hearing a little sister, who came into le room, where she was laid out for dead, ex- iting in the prospect, in consequence of her aath, of getting possession of a necklace of the iceased, fto M a •’ food. l eAstv'-t- (>1 jl fr'li*. eAiyUH, drtll ('AAloL- rl~r C'tyl tyv-o frt>Ud ^ i cj ' c/j\j SsLt t'PYx J. a. du> l Cr l l/tdd of Jvi (rcLvt-LAs ?}J / i/fcc> <}x osteoid Lc How to get Seeep.—How to get sleep is to many arsons a matter of high importance. Nervous persons who re troubled with wakefulness and excitability, usually have strong tendency of blood on the brain, with cold extre- lities. The pressure of the blood on the brain keeps it in a simulated or wakeful state, and the pulsations in the head re often painful. Let such rise and chafe the body and xtremities with a brush or towel, or rub smartly with the auds to promote circulation and withdraw the excessive mount of blood from the brain, and you will sleep in a few mments.

The patient was Thomas Burrows, a la oufer, at barnet, aged 22, who had been attacked some ears ago with a disease of the nose, which was gradually estroying that organ. During the last two years he was .nder treatment for it at the hospital, without any satisfac- ory result, beyond the preservation of his nose from actual estruction. The progress of the disease having been at ;ngth arrested, it was resolved, with his consent, to cover he cartilages, and form a pair of nostrils with skin taken rom the forehead.
